CompTIA A+ 220-1101 (V14) Practice Question

A user reports that their desktop PC no longer displays an additional internal storage drive that holds important project data. You have confirmed that the drive receives power and that its SATA power and data cables are firmly attached. After rebooting the system, the drive is still missing from File Explorer. Which troubleshooting step should you perform NEXT?

  • Open Disk Management to see whether the drive is present, initialized, and assigned a drive letter.

  • Inspect external interface ports to verify that the drive is not connected incorrectly.

  • Update the system's storage-controller drivers and restart the computer.

  • Replace the SATA data cable to rule out a defective cable.
